“You need to make sure people hate it as well as love it”
This stuck with me today. I’ve always been a fan of David’s work from Death Spray Custom, and here, we finally get a look into
the man behind the paint. Even when he was kind enough to sponsor our first Monster Mash race, I was still clouded with aura of
mystery about the man behind DSD; I liked it. As you can see now, there’s obviously method in his madness.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’re well aware that I’m a huge fan of Death Spray Custom. I’ve always wanted to own a piece of his work. Hell, one time he was kind enough to sponsor the first installment of The Monster Mash and provide us with a custom-painted fork that I was forced to give to my roommate who happened to win the race that year. Yo Dan, if you’re reading this, I’m more than willing to buy that fork off you!

Anyway, as you can imagine, getting your hands on some painted components from Adam isn’t exactly easy. Which is why he’s offering 7 uniquely painted forks for sale, for a limited time. Head on over to DSC and check out the Deadly Sins Collection! Here are a couple of my favorites so far.

I’ve got a real soft spot for candy paint. No, not because I’m a particularly loud or ostentatious (quite the opposite, actually), but because you can stare at its sparkle FOR HOURS. Okay, maybe not that long…but you get the point. DSC has been on a tear lately and this fork specially painted for the Peter Sagan and Cannondale is nothing short of spectacular.

Death Spray Custom teamed up with Cannondale this season to create their lineup of 2014 Tour De France bicycles and man, do they look good. Each bicycle is even personalized with their rider’s spirit animal! See more over at DSC.

I’ve said it before, but anything David at Death Spray Custom touches turns to gold; that includes textiles, too. A few of my favorite and most well-loved tee shirts have been DSC shirts. So when I saw that Death Spray and Morvelo created a cycling kit together I nearly lost it! Not that I’ll be able to afford it on a Chinese salary (let alone cover shipping), but in the words of David “it will make you faster and more attractive to the opposite sex.”

Ohio based Stanridge Cycles is excited to announce the arrival of Katie Arnold to the team as it heads into it’s 3rd season competing in the Red Hook Crit Series. Arnold will join previous Red Hook winner and Cat 1/Pro, Evan Murphy at the start line in NYC this weekend.

This years Red Hook Crit program began in October of last year while in Shoreditch, London visiting Death Spray Custom. Ben Eine‘s work on Mother London caught the eye of Stanridge Cycles Owner Adam Eldridge. After returning to the states Ben was contacted and it was on. Ben hand painted both frames for the event.

This year Enve Composites, Paul Components and Vittoria Tires have joined as new team sponsors while Endo Custom remains as the jersey maker. Riders will use a variation of the iconic Stanridge HSP MkII (pictured) during the series to showcase a team that competes at the highest level of fixed crit racing.

“I enjoy creating bikes for this series. Having these frames used under race conditions means much more to me than hanging them on display at a bike show. They’ll get beat up, scratched and used which is perfectly fine with me”. – Adam Eldridge, Owner of Stanridge Cycles.

Death Spray Custom has opened another pop-up shop and for a limited time you can own a piece of DSC gear. But hurry up – ’cause the DSC goods never seem to stay in stock for long! I’ve already got 3 tees, all of which have seen some serious wear.
